NPFL Matchday Four Tie Shooting Stars vs Heartland Preview: The Naze Millionaires ready to compete against the Oluyole Warriors
Heartland FC are in Ibadan for their second away game of the season against Shooting Stars Sports Club in one of the 2024-25 Nigeria Premier Football League Matchday Four fixtures.
The game is slated for the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan by 5:30pm on Sunday in a repeat of last season’s fixture which ended goalless while erstwhile gaffer, Kennedy Boboye was still in charge of the team.
The Naze Millionaires have had not too impressive results in the opening three games. They lost to Enyimba and Rivers United but got their first season’s point at home to Katsina United in a game they dominated and could have won by at least 4-0 if they were not wasteful in front of goal.
Having gone through special drills to master the act of goal conversion, Heartland FC players will be fired up to face the Oluyole Warriors with all their might in search of elusive first win of the season.
The Owerri safely arrived Ibadan ahead of the encounter and will have the mandatory one training session at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan by Saturday evening.
The team travelled to Ibadan with fully fit squad with a few players nursing injuries left in Owerri to continue with their recovery and their fitness ascertain before the next home game with Niger Tornadoes.
Heartland FC Technical Manager, Emmanuel Amuneke called on Imo people in Ibadan to come out and support the team while assuring that the Naze Millionaires would put up a spirited performance with the desire to go in the hunt for the three points at stake.
“We are gradually getting into shape and we know in a short while results will start coming,” Amuneke told Heartland FC Media.
“Shooting Stars are a tough side but we know we have a team that can give a good account of themselves in Ibadan. We have a group of young players who are ready to play and we shall need our fans in Ibadan and its environs to come and support us.”
